You've brought up several issues here; I'll take them one at a time.
"... log all access to certain sets of sites..." I'm inferring from this statement that
these "sets of sites" exist in the form of lists (domains or urls), and that in the
squidGuard.conf file that you sent these lists must be in porn/domains and porn/urls
since
those are the only ones listed. But then you mention "...without doing any
redirecting...", which isn't going to happen with 'pass !porn all'.
For the tracking functionality may I suggest that you look into the various options for
reporting on the squid access.log file? I've used Calamaris and SARG and can recommend
them both. The squid site also has a page of links that includes logfile reporting
packages.

It has been my experience that squidGuard will not create these logfiles. Create the
file,
set the file ownership and permissions and bounce squid. There's no reason why it
shouldn't work then.
Hope that helps.
